AI Safety App Triggers Delhi Police Raid on Paharganj Spa, 6 Women Rescued

Police treat the Say Help alert as operational validation of the voice-activated tool under trial in Central Delhi.

Overview

  • On the night of October 30–31, a real-time Say Help alert with live video, audio, and GPS prompted police to verify suspected trafficking at Galaxy Spa in Paharganj.
  • A decoy officer entered with Rs 2,000 in pre-noted currency and used a prearranged WhatsApp missed call to confirm illegal activity before the team raided the site.
  • Six women aged 21 to 34 were rescued, and police arrested a 36-year-old receptionist who, according to officers, admitted running the operation with her husband.
  • Investigators seized the marked cash and three sealed packets of condoms, sealed the premises, and registered a case under Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act at Nabi Karim police station.
  • Officials say the app’s monitoring team coordinated with Delhi Police in real time, as the AI-enabled, voice-activated platform continues pilot use locally after an international launch.
